In the world of unopened packs, this unopened 1951 Topps Red Backs rack pack with 1951 Topps team cards and Connie Mack All-Stars qualifies as one of the "Holy Grails." This is a miracle pack. The rack pack includes a complete set of fifty-two Red Backs in their original uncut two-panel form, an instruction sheet for playing the game, three 1951 Connie Mack All-Stars cards, and two 1951 Topps Team cards. The complete set of Red Backs as well as the team cards and Connie Macks are all literally untouched by human hands. The 1951 Red Backs set includes the following eight Hall of Famers: Berra, Rizzuto, Wynn, Kiner, Feller, Spahn, Snider, and Irvin. The identity of the Topps Team cards and Connie Mack All-star cards cannot be determined as they are tucked between the panels of the Red Backs set; they appear to be in Near Mint condition. This is an exceptionally rare and substantial unopened rack pack in extraordinary condition, looking exactly as it did when it appeared on a candy store rack in 1951, direct from the earliest days of Topps and the "golden era" of baseball cards. Reserve $1,500. Estimate $3,000/$5,000.SOLD FOR $6,960.00
